His 'moochh' is permanent but Abhishek Bachchan, who plays the other lead and a double, sports a patch and uses it to mislead people

Anil Kapoor can vouch for the moustache's success. "When I started out in 'Woh Saat Din', Manmohan Desai said heroes with a moustache were not accepted in Bollywood. The same man had to come back and tell me he was wrong." The only time Kapoor shaved his moustache was during 'Lamhe' which bombed at the BO. MOOCHH ADO
